Episode 0 - The Vikings and Their Myths

About this episode

People often associate Norse mythology with the vikings. But "viking" was just one of many jobs in medieval Scandinavia where farmers, poets, lawspeakers, and all sorts of people incorporated this northern version of Germanic paganism into their daily lives. The Viking Age itself only lasted about two and a half centuries whereas the religion of the north had been growing and evolving for thousands of years. In this episode we'll talk about what Norse mythology is, where it comes from, and where to find it in modern times.
